New Jersey Transit

Even NJ Transit riders quick to criticize the agency on their Twitter account were okay with a delay caused by a dog on the tracks.

Atlantic County Freeholder John Risley said, "The earliest we think we'll get any kind of service is possibly by the first week of May. And they kept promising us second quarter (of the year). Of course second quarter can mean June 30 or July 1."

Authorities say the Supervisor of the South Jersey Bus Division schemed with a former staffer and his family to siphon thousands from the public transit agency.

It doesn't help that Murphy was less than truthful when he blamed federal regulators for delays in restoring full train service, including the Atlantic City line.

The Atlantic City Line remains out of service and won’t return until sometime this spring pending Federal Railroad Administration approval of a deadline to complete all PTC work.

Murphy and top Jersey transportation officials expect NJ Transit train service to noticeably improve by next winter.

The Hamilton Township Police Department says a man was charged with aggravated assault after punching a bus driver and a cop on Christmas night.

Gov. Phil Murphy says his agenda for 2019 starts with the things that didn’t get done in 2018 – and that could include another dose of 'tax fairness.'

Murphy said the agency would work in January to restore weekend service that had been suspended during the installation and full service to the Atlantic City and "Dinky" line in Princeton.

Murphy promised NJ Transit will actively engage customers for their input to help identify areas in need of improvement.
